Rising from the desert, Aspire Academy is a symbol of Qatar’s ambition in sports. Boasting coaches and sports scientists from around the globe and housed in some of the best training facilities in the world, Aspire Academy exists to develop sporting champions.

In June 2016, Aspire Academy and SAP announced an historic agreement in Doha, Qatar. This strategic partnership stands for a strong commitment between a global leading technology company and a knowledge-driven youth athlete academy with Aspire Academy becoming the ‘Strategic Sports Partner’ for SAP and SAP in the role of ‘Strategic Technology Partner’ of Aspire Academy.

The alliance aims to deliver a significant contribution not only to Aspire and SAP but also to the world of sports with a special focus on young athletes’ and team development by innovating in sports performance data management and analytics. The premise is to utilize performance data in new ways to unlock innovative approaches in developing sporting talent, starting at the sub-elite level.

Since its start in 2004, Aspire has invested in numerous performance and science technologies. In any given week, the number of data points added to the information ecosystem from matches, training sessions, assessments and more, is substantial.

Allowing coaches, sports scientists and management to tap into this valuable sports performance data in real-time, and providing them with a self-service analytics capability across all data sources became a critical requirement for Aspire Academy. In addition, engaging Aspire’s high school age student-athletes with visually appealing and motivating information by bringing together information from sources from inside and outside of the organization was a critical success factor. They also applied for sport results and performance planning data, medical, sports science and academics input, as well as data from the clubs, leagues and federations of the sports to which they belong.

Underlined by SAP’s principle to Run Simple, and thanks to the in-memory technology platform SAP HANA and the company’s analytics portfolio, a first step was to integrate the rich data sources of Aspire’s operating environment. In co-innovation with Aspire Academy, SAP and Clariba – an independent Big Data analytics consultancy based in Europe and the Middle East – the team developed Aspire’s Football Performance Analytics solution that provides the necessary analytical capabilities to the Academy allowing it to develop one of the world’s smallest talent pools and deliver on the State of Qatar’s global sporting ambitions.

Leveraging Aspire Academy’s expertise in driving sport performance, and equipped with the latest technology powered by SAP and Clariba, coaches can now analyze team and player performance right on the pitch. With the Football Performance Analytics solution, coaches now have access to all performance data around match analysis, training, individual player development and even video analysis on one single, easy-to-use iPad application.

The team at Aspire is currently working on finalizing its world leading Football Performance Center, to be inaugurated in summer 2017. For this prestigious project, Aspire Academy will be bringing together the most advanced technologies and are thinking toward leveraging SAP Digital Boardroom to provide interactive player assessment analytics.

At the recent Aspire Academy Global Summit 2016, Stefan Wagner, SAP’s global manager for Sports & Entertainment, and Luca Spinelli, general manager of Clariba in Qatar, presented the latest insights of the collaboration with Aspire Academy in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The joint presentation to Aspire’s fellows from across the world outlined the importance of the integration and connection to multiple data sources — such as GPS data from training sessions, match data from external providers, or club-internal information — in order for today’s clubs and associations to achieve a competitive edge.

With a small talent pool and high global expectations Aspire is forced to develop competitive advantage in different ways than leading sport nations with a strong sports culture and ready access to talent can do today. In partnership with SAP and Clariba, Aspire Academy is now more than ever striving to become the world’s leading academy with the objective to enable the best coaching and performance decisions.

Clariba — an independent, analytics consultancy based in Dubai — is named a finalist in the People and Culture of the Year Award category for the Gulf Capital SME Awards 2015.

UAE, Dubai, October 02, 2013 – In-memory computing (IMC) is quoted as one of the top 10 technology trends for 2013. Jumping on this trend is Spinneys Dubai, a leading food retailer in the UAE, who recently implemented SAP’s real-time in-memory technology platform SAP HANA®. This groundbreaking solution combined with the leading visualization and analysis capabilities of SAP@ BusinessObjects™ immediately allowed Spinneys to explore and analyze large quantities of their data from a vast array of sources more effectively, at record speeds. Clariba, a leading business analytics consultancy in the Middle East, was a key player in ensuring the successful implementation and immediate results.

“We can now not only get supplier delivery performance reports in a short amount of time, but more importantly, we can now track in real time a supplier’s performance at a level of granularity that was not possible to achieve before,” says Rohith D’Souza, responsible for business analysis & development, Spinneys Dubai. “This solution makes it easier for us not only to store vast quantities of data, but also to retrieve and analyze it at record speeds, with a lot of flexibility on how we build reports. If you take for example our Inflation Report which used to take three hours to run; we now have results in less than three minutes.”

“The main goal for Spinneys is to make sure that all decisions we make are the right ones for our customers. This solution is helping us to streamline internal processes, allowing us to make better-informed decisions much faster, and ultimately, helping us serve our customers better. That’s what we strive for everyday,” says Rohith.

“As every retailer, Spinneys has increasing amounts of data from point-of-sale transactions and on the operational side – purchasing, stock, and financial data. Understanding stock levels and wastage, and forecasting inventory movements are critical to manage the profitability of a retail organization. With SAP HANA, Spinneys management now has speed-of-thought analytic capabilities available at their fingertips,” says Marc Haberland, managing director, Clariba. “What’s more, our team of certified consultants with years of business intelligence experience has helped Spinneys to achieve these capabilities in just a few weeks by leveraging the game-changing capabilities of SAP HANA.”

Qais Gharaibeh, managing director – UAE, SAP MENA says, “Spinneys has shown great ambition by investing in technology that can transform its operations. In particular, it will be able to become more nimble and profitable, while also delivering a more engaging and relevant shopping experience to its customers. SAP HANA is all about real-time efficiency, intelligent insight and achieving previously unattainable levels of innovation.”

Spinneys, Clariba and SAP

Spinneys has started applying the technology in several initiatives such as their Category Performance Improvement (CPI) process, which cascades corporate strategies down to the product level, analyzing sales and shopping trends to ensure the optimal mix reaches the final customer.

The company is also thrilled with, and will shortly start tapping into all the possibilities that SAP BusinessObjects’ Mobile Business Intelligence brings. “A manager can go down to the store, tablet in hand, analyze a range of products and its performance on the shop floor. If there is a gap on the shelf, he can instantly see if the stock of the product is low, and if a purchase order has been placed for it already. All in real-time!” mentions Rohith. “This represents a big improvement in the way we will do things going forward. With this technology, the possibilities are limitless.”
